Optimal Onigiri New York 2008 - Oms/b - CLOSED

The glass counter at Oms/b displays pert little triangles of onigiri (rice and fillings wrapped in seaweed), weirdly displayed like so many bonbons. What makes it the best? The seaweed swaddling is greenly briny and neither too dry nor soggy; the rice is warm, fresh, and sticky. Try the spicy scallop version or the pickled vegetable with cod roe.
